Kind of thinking: Planning

Yukti #12 was a Steady lift puzzle, the puzzle for Wednesday 21 October 2026. Yukti, a daily logic puzzle at playyukti.com, gives everyone the same puzzle each day. Here is the puzzle, and its shortest route with the reason for every step.

The puzzle

Get everything up to your new flat.

The lift carries you and 2 more. Only you can work it.

Everyone and everything is safe while you're with them. Without you, these can't be left together:

  • the toddler with the cat or the cake
  • the puppy with the cake

What is the shortest route?

The shortest route is 3 moves. Each step says why it works.

  1. 1

    Take the cat and the cake up.

    Taking the toddler and the puppy instead works too.

  2. 2

    Go down alone.

    The cat and the cake are safe together.

  3. 3

    Take the toddler and the puppy up.

    Everything is upstairs.
